Friends of Aaron Michael was formed in 2012 after the birth and death of Aaron Michael Lowe on September 18, 2012. Aaron was diagnosed with Trisomy 13, a fatal chromosome disorder in April of 2012. It was the decision of his parents, Mike and Suzy Lowe, to continue the pregnancy and enjoy every day they could have with Aaron.

Though Aaron lived for only 8 hours after he was born, he touched a lot of lives and brought many families together that had experienced the loss of an infant through miscarriage, disease, or unexpected death.

The Friends of Aaron Michael hold an annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day, a day we are thankful for the children that we were blessed with for such a short time and grateful for the friends that surrounded us.

Join us as we continue to support and encourage families faced with the loss of an infant. It is the goal of the Turkey Trot to bring those family and friends together on Thanksgiving Day to honor and remember the beautiful children that touched our lives in such a big way and to continue to support the SHINE program at Blank Children’s Hospital UnityPoint Health that walks with families facing the potential death of an infant.
